Roy paid tribute to their daughter’s efforts and said: “There was a dance done
in the living room. We just thought it was great, wonderful. We’re very
proud and pleased for his sake but also for Judith, his mother.

“She has worked her socks off to help get him where he is.”

While Shirley joked: “Would you believe this is the first year that we haven’t
been down there? So I think we are the jinx – he has obviously done great
without us but I broke my leg so I couldn’t go.”

But her husband was quick to correct her saying: “No, no. We saw him at the
Olympics. That was good!”

Fan goes overboard with excitement!

AN OVEREXCITED yachtsman had to be rescued after he dislocated his shoulder
jumping overboard to celebrate Andy Murray’s win.

The 45-year-old was on board his friend’s 39ft yacht Bliss, moored at Newtown
creek, Isle of Wight, when he suffered the injury as he dived into the sea.

He had to be brought ashore by the Cowes RNLI lifeboat before being taken to
hospital by ambulance.

A RNLI spokesman said: “The 45-year-old man decided to take a celebratory
dive into the sea on news of Murray’s championship victory.

“As he hit the water, however, his right shoulder became dislocated.
Although his arm was now firmly stuck in the air he still somehow managed to
swim to the boat’s rear platform where he was helped back on board by the
owner.

“After being alerted by Solent coastguards of the incident, the lifeboat
was launched just after 6pm and was quickly on the scene. One of the
lifeboat crew helped the man over before he was transferred to the lifeboat.

“He was then taken to Trinity landing, Cowes, where an ambulance was
waiting to convey him to Newport’s St Mary’s Hospital.

“On the way to Cowes, the injured man told the crew that dislocation of
his shoulder was a recurring problem for him. The last time was when he fell
on the yacht while celebrating St Patrick’s Day. But on that occasion he
managed to put his shoulder back without the need of outside assistance.”
